GIMP 2.6.11 NOT WORKING?

[MegaLolzxx]

This morning, I decided to create those cool buttons for my brand new forum [HOORAY! XD], and I always use GIMP to create those buttons (Home, New Topics, etc.), but when I tried to open GIMP, it is not responding o__o. I have been using GIMP for a year or two now, and it always worked. But it did not work today. Anybody know what the problem is? I really need GIMP. The last time I used it was probably last January and it was still working properly. THANK YOU[/size]

Could you not re-downoad Gimp?

[MegaLolzxx]

I did but the results are still the same [/size]

Have you tried resetting your computer? I do that whenever a program is acting up.

you say it's 'not responding' and 'it doesn't work' - what, exactly, happens when you attempt to load GIMP? does it freeze when loading? does the loading screen not show? your post is a little vague. :3

Dark Crow: Well, I did, but same results

Meadows Kami: When I attempt to load GIMP, it freezes when loading
(and it says: NOT RESPONDING) , and sometimes when I try again, the loading screen doesn't show, and then it just says NOT RESPONDING.. =/[/size]

GIMP is a really RAM heavy program from what I can tell. :[ Do you have anything else running in the background?

[MegaLolzxx]

I run programs one at a time; so no. :/[/size]

How much RAM do you have available? According to the GIMP website you have to have at least 128MB of RAM. If you go to your control panel >> security, I think you can check how much RAM is available there.

I couldn't find the RAM[/size]

[Kami]

What OS are you running?

[MegaLolzxx]

I am running Microsoft Winows XP[/size]

Hold down the Windows key and press the Pause/Break key. It should tell you how much RAM you have.

What is the Pause/Break key? xD[/size]
